Syntax
call "_browse"
Description
The _browse utility displays the file type and file statistics, if possible, of the file name entered. The utility recognizes INDEXED, SERIAL, DIRECT, SORT, PROGRAM, MKEYED and C-ISAM file types. Files that do not fall into one of the above file types will be displayed as a STRING file.
If the file is not a program or filelist, the data in the file will be displayed in hexadecimal and ASCII formats. Program and filelist files will be displayed in ASCII only.
Use the following keys to move around in the file:
